This press release corrects a prior version published on April 28,
2022 and is updated to revise the accounting treatment of certain
deferred loan acquisition costs when the guaranteed portions of SBA
7(a) loans were sold. Subsequent to issuing the original press
release and during the Company’s preparation of its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022,
the Company determined that it had been incorrectly accounting for
such deferred loan acquisition costs. No corrections are required
with respect to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 16, 2022. In the first quarter of 2021,
FinWise Bancorp started paying marketing fees (representing a new
expense component to the Company) on SBA 7(a) loans, which are
amortized over the life of the loan. The impact to the Company of
correcting the accounting for such marketing fees and related
deferred loan acquisition costs were reductions in interest income
and net loan balances of $1.1 million and the provision for income
taxes of $0.3 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
As a result, the Company’s financial results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2022 previously reported in the original press
release have been revised to reflect the foregoing changes to
interest income and the provision for income taxes. This resulted
in a $0.8 million reduction in net income for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2022 comprising a cumulative correction of $0.6
million and $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (as
an out-of-period adjustment) and the quarter ended March 31, 2022,
respectively. The Company’s revised net income is $9.4 million, or
$0.70 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The book
value per share of the Company’s common stock decreased by $0.07 as
a result of the revision to $9.77 per share at March 31, 2022. The
revision had minimal impact on the Company’s capital ratios. The
corrected release reads:

Net Income
Net income was $9.4 million for the first
quarter of 2022, compared to $10.1 million for the fourth quarter
of 2021, and nearly double the net income for the first quarter of
2021. The decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to a
decrease in net interest income due to a change in the mix of loans
and an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by an
increase in non-interest income driven by gain on sale of loans and
higher strategic program fees. Compared to the prior year period,
net income growth was primarily driven by increases in net interest
income and non-interest income, partially offset by higher
non-interest expenses and provision for loan loss.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $13.0 million for the
first quarter of 2022, compared to $15.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2021, and $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2021.
The decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to a change
in the mix of held for sale loans reflecting higher average
balances from strategic programs with lower yielding loans. Growth
over the prior year period primarily reflected strong loan growth
resulting in higher balances and an increase in average interest
earning assets.
Loan originations totaled $2.5 billion for the
first quarter of 2022, up 9.0% from $2.3 billion for the fourth
quarter of 2021, and up 147.8% from $1.0 billion for the first
quarter of 2021.
Net interest margin for the first quarter of
2022 was 13.4% compared to 16.6% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and
11.0% for the first quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous
quarter was primarily driven by higher average held for sale and
held for investment loan balances carrying lower yields from
strategic programs. The decrease in net interest margin was
partially offset by a change in the underlying mix of held for
investment loans reflecting a decrease in lower yielding SBA 7(a)
loans. The net interest margin increase from the first quarter of
2021 was driven mainly by a substantial reduction in average PPP
loans with a notional interest rate of 1.0% outstanding.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company’s provision for loan losses was $2.9
million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.5 million for
the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.6 million for the first quarter
of 2021. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due
to loan growth on unguaranteed loans held for investment and an
increase in net charge-offs. The increase in the Company’s
provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2022 compared to
the first quarter of 2021 was due to substantial loan growth and an
increase in net charge-offs.

Non-interest income was $11.7 million for the
first quarter of 2022, an increase of 28.0% from $9.1 million for
the fourth quarter of 2021, and nearly doubled from $6.1 million
for the first quarter of 2021. The increase over both prior periods
was driven primarily by higher gain on sale of loans due to an
increase in the number of SBA 7(a) loans sold as well as an
increase in strategic program fees due to significant loan
origination volume. The increase over both periods was partially
offset by a decrease in the change in fair value on investment in
Business Funding Group, LLC (“BFG”) due primarily to the softening
of comparable company values used in determining BFG fair
value.

Non-interest expense was $9.0 million for the
first quarter of 2022, compared to $8.4 million for the fourth
quarter of 2021 and $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. The
increase over both prior periods was primarily due to increased
expenses from higher employee head count related to an increase in
strategic program loan volume, the expansion of the Company’s
information technology and security division to support
enhancements to the Company’s infrastructure, and contractual
bonuses paid relating to the expansion of the strategic programs.
The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was partially
offset by the minor recovery and lack of additional impairment on
the SBA servicing asset in the first quarter of 2022.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 36.7% for the
first quarter of 2022 as compared to 34.3% for the fourth quarter
of 2021 and 45.9% for the first quarter of 2021.
Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was
approximately 25.4% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to
25.3% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 26.7% for the first
quarter of 2021.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $424.5 million
at March 31, 2022, an increase of 11.6% from $380.2 million at
December 31, 2021, and an increase of 28.6% from $330.1 million at
March 31, 2021. The increase over both prior periods was mainly due
to growth in deposits to fund the Company’s growing Strategic
Program loan portfolio. The increase in total assets compared to
March 31, 2021 also reflected an increase in cash from the
Company’s public stock offering and an increase in deposits to fund
SBA 7(a) loans offset by a substantial decrease in borrowings under
the PPP Liquidity Facility due to a decline in PPP loans
outstanding.

Note: SBA loans
as of March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 include
$1.0 million, $1.1 million and $65.9 million in PPP loans,
respectively. SBA loans as of March 31, 2022, December 31,
2021 and March 31, 2021 include $53.2 million, $75.7 million and
$48.0 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are
guaranteed by the SBA. |
Total loans receivable at March 31, 2022
increased 2.5% to $272.6 million from $265.8 million at December
31, 2021 and increased 11.1% from $245.2 million at March 31, 2021.
The growth in loans receivable over both periods was due primarily
to increases in strategic program loans. The increase in total
loans compared to December 31, 2021 was partially offset by a
decrease in SBA loans. Growth compared to March 31, 2021 was
partially offset by a substantial decrease in PPP loans due to PPP
loan forgiveness throughout 2021.

Total deposits at March 31, 2022 increased 10.2%
to $277.5 million from $251.9 million at December 31, 2021, and
increased 47.2% from $188.5 million at March 31, 2021. The increase
from the fourth quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by an increase
in money market deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
The increase from the first quarter of 2021 was driven by a
significant increase in money market accounts, noninterest-bearing
demand deposits, and time certificates of deposit.
Total shareholders’ equity increased $9.6
million, or 8.2%, to $125.0 million at March 31, 2022 from $115.4
million at December 31, 2021. Compared to the period ending March
31, 2021, shareholder’s equity increased $72.7 million, or more
than doubled from $52.3 million. The increase in shareholders’
equity over the prior quarter was mainly driven by an increase in
net income during the first quarter of 2022. The increase over the
prior year period was primarily due to the Company’s Initial Public
Offering and an increase in net income.

Asset QualityNonperforming
loans were $0.7 million or 0.2% of total loans receivable at March
31, 2022, compared to $0.7 million or 0.2% of total loans
receivable at December 31, 2021 and $0.8 million or 0.3% of total
loans receivable at March 31, 2021. As noted above, the provision
for loan losses was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022,
compared to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.6
million for the first quarter of 2021. The Company’s allowance for
loan losses to total loans (less PPP loans) was 3.7% at March 31,
2022 compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2021 and 3.4% at March 31,
2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s
net charge-offs were $2.8 million, compared to $2.3 million during
the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.6 million during the first
quarter of 2021. The increase in charge-offs during the first
quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was
predominantly driven by the normalization of credit losses to
pre-pandemic market conditions and by growth in the Company’s held
for investment balances. The increase in charge-offs during the
first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was
mainly driven by growth in the Company’s held for investment
balances related to four of its strategic programs.

allowance for loan losses and asset quality ratios for the periods

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This release contains forward-looking statements
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to,
among other things, future events and its financial performance.
These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of
words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,”
“predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,”
“continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “project,” “projection,” “forecast,” “budget,” “goal,”
“target,” “would,” “aim” and “outlook,” or the negative version of
those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or
forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not
historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates
and projections about the Company’s industry and management’s
beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which,
by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s
control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should
not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other
person that such expectations, estimates and projections will be
achieved. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are
difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be
materially different from the results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements.
There are or will be important factors that
could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from
those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but
not limited to, the following: (a) conditions relating to the
Covid-19 pandemic, including the severity and duration of the
associated economic slowdown either nationally or in the Company’s
market areas, and the response of governmental authorities to the
Covid-19 pandemic and the Company’s participation in
Covid-19-related government programs such as the PPP; (b) system
failure or cybersecurity breaches of the Company’s network
security; (c) the success of the financial technology industry, the
development and acceptance of which is subject to a high degree of
uncertainty, as well as the continued evolution of the regulation
of this industry; (d) the Company’s ability to keep pace with rapid
technological changes in the industry or implement new technology
effectively; (e) the Company’s reliance on third-party service
providers for core systems support, informational website hosting,
internet services, online account opening and other processing
services; (f) general economic conditions, either nationally or in
the Company’s market areas (including interest rate environment,
government economic and monetary policies, the strength of global
financial markets and inflation and deflation), that impact the
financial services industry and/or the Company’s business; (g)
increased competition in the financial services industry,
particularly from regional and national institutions and other
companies that offer banking services; (h) the Company’s ability to
measure and manage its credit risk effectively and the potential
deterioration of the business and economic conditions in the
Company’s primary market areas; (i) the adequacy of the Company’s
risk management framework; (j) the adequacy of the Company’s
allowance for loan losses; (k) the financial soundness of other
financial institutions; (l) new lines of business or new products
and services; (m) changes in SBA rules, regulations and loan
products, including specifically the Section 7(a) program, changes
in SBA standard operating procedures or changes to the status of
the Bank as an SBA Preferred Lender; (n) changes in the value of
collateral securing the Company’s loans; (o) possible increases in
the Company’s levels of nonperforming assets; (p) potential losses
from loan defaults and nonperformance on loans; (q) the Company’s
ability to protect its intellectual property and the risks it faces
with respect to claims and litigation initiated against the
Company; (r) the inability of small- and medium-sized businesses to
whom the Company lends to weather adverse business conditions and
repay loans; (s) the Company’s ability to implement aspects of its
growth strategy and to sustain its historic rate of growth; (t) the
Company’s ability to continue to originate, sell and retain loans,
including through its Strategic Programs; (u) the concentration of
the Company’s lending and depositor relationships through Strategic
Programs in the financial technology industry generally; (v) the
Company’s ability to attract additional merchants and retain and
grow its existing merchant relationships; (w) interest rate risk
associated with the Company’s business, including sensitivity of
its interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to
interest rates, and the impact to its earnings from changes in
interest rates; (x) the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting and its ability to remediate any
future material weakness in its internal control over financial
reporting; (y) potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer
theft and cyber-crime and other disruptions in the Company’s
computer systems relating to its development and use of new
technology platforms; (z) the Company’s dependence on its
management team and changes in management composition; (aa) the
sufficiency of the Company’s capital, including sources of capital
and the extent to which it may be required to raise additional
capital to meet its goals; (bb) compliance with laws and
regulations, supervisory actions, the Dodd-Frank Act, the
Regulatory Relief Act, capital requirements, the Bank Secrecy Act,
anti-money laundering laws, predatory lending laws, and other
statutes and regulations; (cc) changes in the laws, rules,
regulations, interpretations or policies relating to financial
institutions, accounting, tax, trade, monetary and fiscal matters;
(dd) the Company’s ability to maintain a strong core deposit base
or other low-cost funding sources; (ee) results of examinations of
the Company by the Company’s regulators, including the possibility
that its regulators may, among other things, require the Company to
increase its allowance for loan losses or to write-down assets;
(ff) the Company’s involvement from time to time in legal
proceedings, examinations and remedial actions by regulators; (gg)
further government intervention in the U.S. financial system; (hh)
the ability of the Company’s Strategic Program service providers to
comply with regulatory regimes, including laws and regulations
applicable to consumer credit transactions, and the Company’s
ability to adequately oversee and monitor its Strategic Program
service providers; (ii) the Company’s ability to maintain and grow
its relationships with its Strategic Program service providers;
(jj) natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism,
pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities or other international or
domestic calamities, and other matters beyond the Company’s
control; (kk) future equity and debt issuances; and (ll) other
factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation,
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021
and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as
exhaustive. If one or more events related to these or other risks
or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company’s underlying
assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ
materially from its forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you
should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date of this release, and the Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking
statement, whether because of new information, future developments
or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and
uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible
for the Company to predict their occurrence. In addition, the
Company cannot assess the impact of each risk and uncertainty on
its business or the extent to which any risk or uncertainty, or
combination of risks and uncertainties, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.

(1) Tangible
shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less
goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity. We had no
goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates
indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights as an
intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. As a result,
tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’
equity as of each of the dates indicated. |
